This book is definitely not a light read! It's intense and filled with moments where you find yourself going "Wow, that was not expected."

Darryl is sadistic, with a total lack of empathy. In simplistic terms, he uses his telekinetic abilities through online chat rooms with kids in order to access their parents' bank accounts. They then, meet various outcomes, which none are pretty. Darryl is a powerfully strong "bender" able to control most anyone. This also doesn't bode well for multiple government agencies as they begin searching for him as well as other "TKs"

Cynthia, a little girl, watches as her parents fall apart from an affair and divorce. Because of that divorce, she ends up moving to an apartment complex where she learns she has "weaving" abilities, just like Darryl and like her mentor Ms. Martin, whom she meets at the apartment complex.

Jessica Is in charge of the government funded agency responsible for locating TKs. She is a unique type, one that isn't affected by TKs, a highly rare. She works with a captured TK named Frank, captured by her father who founded the agency, and a team of specialists to track down Darryl and his counterpart to end their mayhem.

Overall, it was a good read. It switched back and forth a lot from Jessica, Cynthia, Darryl, and Ora's stories. There was alot to tackle in each of those people's stories so sometimes I had a hard time tracking everything. If there hadn't have been, I may have found it easier to connect with the book. I did like the unique storyline and Cynthia was a good character. I still am left a bit confused by Katarina, it seemed to abruptly end or leave something out... I don't know, something just seemed missing there on the ending.

Weavers weaves the story together of a number of people with the ability to weave, which is basically to control people's mind and even make them do things. These powers are not always used for the best unfortunately, and a governmental organization that wants the powers for themselves are hunting them down.

It had a great premise, but in the beginning it was a bit difficult to keep track of all the stories and I was trying to figure out how they all fit into the bigger story. After that, it was a very nice and interesting read. I was a bit scared when I started reading because the reviews I'd seen so far weren't good, but I disagree. I quite liked it. The writing might not have been the best I've read but the story was really enjoyable.

The characters are very different, from a blind Jewish girl in the second world war, to a nine-year-old suffering through her parents' divorce to a guy using his powers to steal money. Not all the story lines were equally interesting of course, but none were dull. The ending was a bit abrupt but didn't ruin the story. I would read another book in this series (should there be another book).

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
